What is Botox?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a nonsurgical, anti-aging treatment that is injected directly into the muscles, usually between the brows to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Botox is also used clinically to treat crows feet area around the eyes. When expertly administered, Botox and other proven neuromodulators such as Dysport offer an effective solution for wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, while also being minimally invasive, highly effective. This makes BOTOX an affordable alternative to cosmetic surgery such as a brow lift or face lift and other surgical procedures that require surgeons, anesthesia, scalpels, stitches, and lengthy recovery times. Additionally, At SKINNEY Medspa, NYC dermatologist, Dr. Hadley King offers anti-aging micro droplet injections that can both smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and may also slow down the aging process.*

How does Botox work?

Botox and Dysport are forms of botulinum toxin. When BOTOX specialist inject Botulinum toxin in cosmetic treatments it can effectively diminish signs of aging by relaxing facial expression muscles, especially those around the eyes and brow that are notorious for developing dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, smile lines, or forehead wrinkles. Botulinum toxin relaxes these muscles by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses that direct muscles to contract (the muscle activity that causes lines to form between the brows and forehead.)
